Review of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) by Kyle20Ellis — 13 Apr 2020

This review contains spoilers. This is when it was all supposed to end the first time around. But after a record breaking opening weekend we were of course treated to some seriously gorious(intentional) sequels. The set up is pretty much the same as the seemingly unstoppable Jason targets a new group of horny teens which include a young, cute, weird Crispin Glover with the best dance moves ever. Jason hacks his way through the group with some amazing practical effects by Master Tom Savini. It all culminates with geeky horror kid Cory Feldman who has a lot of FX crap slashing him down in a truly spectacular finale. That being said the film tends to be a bit repetitive and the characters are definitely underwritten. Still the movie packs several punches in what is probably the most by the numbers but thrilling and entertaining film of the first four.
